MME. CECILE BRUNNER 



TRAINED AS A WEEPING STANDARD 



Climbing Mme. Cecile Bninner is a most adaptable rose. 

 While its individual blooms in miniature form are the very 

 essence of daintiness, the canes produced are frequently 

 six and seven feet long and are flexible enough to train in 

 any desired position. Three year old plants grown in a 

 pot, and staked with three foot green bamboo stakes may 

 be trained as shown. The canes should be firmly tied to 

 the stakes. When these have grown a foot longer than the 

 stake (four feet) tie the tips, as in pegging, bending grad- 

 ually and with a gentle hand. As the canes lengthen, 

 the bending and tying continues lower down each time, 

 tying until the tip can be pegged to the soil in the pot. 

 The tying may now be loosened almost down to the peg- 

 - ■-^ ging. For the entire length 



of the now weeping canes, 

 laterals will have sprung 

 with countless sprays of -.^--^..^ 

 miniature roses that will 

 bloom for you almost until 

 ''4^! November. Feed every ten 



j^- days with the Rose Food — 



a half trowel for each plant. 

 Place the clay pots contain- 

 ing these lovely weeping 

 miniature roses in stone 

 bowls or jars.
